We stayed in this cottage for our 10th anniversary and it was everything we had hoped for and more! Lake Michigan was a very short walk and the views of the sunset from the swing were breathtaking! The cottage was well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes and condiments. Dennis, Jill and Alan were all very helpful. Jill and Alan gave us wonderful suggestions of things to do and places to see! We will definitely be returning!

Owner's Response:

So glad you liked it. You were our first renters of the season (May 27) and every week is a little different. Early June and late Sept. are often best for nature lovers as it is more peaceful and we also have more availability then.

Jill said you left the cottage spotless. We'd love to have you back for many more anniversaries in the woods by the Lake.

Wonderful Northern MI rental!

We love this place, and have rented for several years. The location in CSA is wonderful to enjoy Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake to the fullest and take advantage of all the Assembly association benefits. The house is comfortable, clean, and updated enough to stay connected to the outside world (wifi, tv) but also lets you still appreciate some rustic cottage charm. As a family with 2 young children, this always meets our needs just perfectly.

We spent the week of June 16-23, 2018 in the cabin. It was a lovely cabin with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The kitchen had all of the things you hate to buy for a one week stay, but are helpful to have for cooking. The gas grill worked great. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom large, and the washer/dryer great to have. The cabin was very clean and functional. The wifi was fast and the provided landline was helpful as our Verizon cell phones could not get a signal. All questions before arriving were answered quickly and helpful suggestions on what to do were also appreciated. The location is perfect as it was close to both Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake. The house sits in a very quiet and peaceful area. If you haven't been to Sleeping Bear Dunes, you will appreciate all of the nature activities it has to offer and this cabin has our highest recommendation!
